Egyptian commercial representative to Belarus Nasser Hamed said on Tuesday that trade exchange between Egypt and Belarus reached $108 million in 2018.

President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is currently visiting the Eastern European country for talks on ways to boost economic and trade ties.

Nasser told state news agency MENA that Egyptian exports to Belarus stood at $25 million in 2018 and included agricultural products, heaters and medicine, while imports included oils, chemicals, vehicles and tractors.

He added that twenty-seven Belarus companies are currently operating in Egypt in the fields of industry, tourism and construction, so economic ties between Cairo & Minsk are expected to be boosted in 2019 by more investments and trade deals.
